AGE IS JUST A NUMBER IF YOU ASK ME

Welcome back to my blog dear friends. This is the last episode of week 180. When I saw the topic I started thanking God because this is the type of topics we should be treating now. A lot of people are still carried away by the old believes. They still insist on the old doctrines of marriage or should I call it marriage philosophy of our fathers.

During the days of our fathers, there was a marriageable range which worked for them. As we proceed and things keep changing, people also keep changing their ideas and philosophy of life.

I know that for some people those old ideas about the age of the person you will marry still exist in their minds and it goes a long way to affect the way they advise others when they want to get married. I don't think that it is a problem for me. Happiness is the first thing when you talk about marriage.

MARRIAGE SHOULD BE ABOUT HAPPINESS AND NOT RULES

What do you want in marriage? This is the first thing that people should look into. Maybe the person is older or younger, do you find happiness with the person? That is what I call life. There is no life without happiness. I know that we believe especially in Africa that a man should be older than the lady he wants to marry. But that was back then. Our parents did that and it worked for them, but we have moved on from that. Happiness is first.

CAN MY PARTNER BE TEN YEARS OLDER THAN ME?

Of course yes. I believe in love. If a lady finds a man that is ten years older than her and she loves him. She can get married to him. Even the man that finds love in a lady that is ten years older than him, he should go ahead and marry her, because both of them are in love. I believe that their love will sustain both of them. Let it not by force. Any marriage that is done by force will not last.

MY PROBLEM WITH OUR YOUTH OF OUR DAYS.

When making friends between a lady and a male, look for someone you can get married to at the end of the day. I have seen some people who make friends of older female or male and when it gets to marriage you will hear them say that such person is too old for marriage. I believe that the case of older or younger person should be settled before accepting that person. If you feel that this person is older then don't get involved in the first place.

IN CONCLUSION
Age is not a problem when it comes to marriage. The lady can be older or younger and same with the man, he can be older or younger. It doesn't matter to me because as long as you both love each other, that is all that matters.
